PSALM FOR PALM SUNDAY

Singing and processions mark this day, a week before Easter. But it is Holy Week, the central pivot of the Christian year, including the remembrance of Christís death on a cross, as well as his rising again at Easter.

The sun shines out on our joyful procession: the spring comes with daffodils and branches of palm.

We rejoice to welcome the coming of our king: Jesus rides into our city with shouts of triumph.

For this is the week of all weeks: Holy Week is the pivot of all our faith.

Who is this king of glory riding to his death: who is this man of sorrows ignored in our urban world?

Our generation doesn't see him as he was in Palestine: but Christ is still present in our streets and in our homes.

This cross of palm we take out in our hands: so help us take up our cross in our daily lives.
